Scientists using NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) conducted more than 140 hours of observations of the magnetar 1E 1547-5408, shown in this Aug. 5, 2026, artist’s concept, between March and April 2025. In doing so, they may have captured empty space behaving in a way physicists have predicted for 90 years, but never directly

A first of its kind measurement of a magnetar may have captured empty space behaving in a way physicists have predicted for 90 years, but never directly observed. The results published Wednesday in Nature. Magnetars are a special class of neutron stars with ultra-strong magnetic fields, the strongest of any object in the observable universe,

NASA’s Chandra and IXPE study Pulsar in the Lighthouse Nebula – NASA 0

This composite image, released on July 9, 2026, shows the region around a pulsar (a neutron star with a strong magnetic field that spins incredibly fast) within the Lighthouse Nebula. The image contains X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory in purple, X-rays from NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) in blue, and radio emissions
